For Christmas my parents got my siblings and I family gifts. One of them was an hour long trail ride! It was so awesome to be on a horse again! When we were in our van heading home, everyone was so calm. Mom commented, "You guys are never this calm!" No one hardly said anything the whole way home! Horses do a lot for people, I'm convinced! (However, it is not ideal to take pictures on a moving horse!)

Three horses saddled and ready to go. They turned out to be the horses Mom, Owen and I rode!

Love the ranch dog!

Getting all settled. On the left is Ian and the right is Lily. They were riding quarter horses.

Lily

Me on my horse. I really wished I had brought my cowgirl hat! I thought I would have to wear a helmet, but then it turned out that only children 12 and under had to wear a helmet.

Ian

My dear Mom, with half of Ian on the right, our guide, Louis, in the background and Owen on the left

Not a very good picture, but this is Owen. The guide said Owen looked very natural and experienced.

Heading out

I guess my horse, Zeus, was really experienced because the guide let my horse lead the way! As you can see, the horses follow the trench in the ground.

Very hard picture to take!

The view was amazing!

When we were nearing the end of the ride , our guide lined up our horses and asked for my camera! It was so nice of him to get a good picture for us! (By the way, the horses heads were turned to look at someone who was galloping by!)
